The Encampment.

ST. Louis, Sept. 29.-Another rain
set IN to day, making everything comfort
less. Outgoing trains are filed with
Grand Army veterans and friends, who
have given up the attempt to enjoy the
national encampment. The reunion by
states and territories at Forrest park was
made ieatureless by the absence OF Gen.
Sherman and the war governors. They
had already for two days mingled shelter
less in the storm with the rauk and file.
The national eDcampment of the G..
\. X. assembled this morning at 9
. clock. The reports of committees was
resumed, the first in order being the com
mIttee on pensions.

of the commander in chief endorses the

with three rousing cheers for Fairchild.
The contest for the commander in
chieiship is waxing warm, but nothing
tangible can be evolved as yet from the

tOmaha Republican,
The rumor that the Union Pacific will
shortly put on another train and shorten
the run between Omaha and Ogden by
from twelve to fourteen hours has been
revived and is creating considerable in
terest. As an evidence OF the necessity
of such a change the recent tiremen's ex-
cursion is quoted: The special train upon
which they were travelling to Denver,
a very heavy one, made up seven hours
of lost time between Ogden and Laramie.
and an engineer was asked il there was
not some fast running done, some that
would make an interesting item for news
paper readers. Fast, shoel," was the
reply. Mo- and he figured up the run
on his fingers. THE special train didn't
make as good speed as an ordinary freight
train. | don't know why it is, but this is
an awful slow run. All the freight trains
make better time than the express, and
we engineers are ashamed Of it. The
company ought to put on another train.
Just look at it. The trains are late every
day, going East as well as going West.

What a Small Roy Can Do.

1t appears impossible to predict what
the average small boy will do under
almost any given circumstance if he has
an opportunity to work mischief. The
following story from Pilot Point, Tex,
serves to illustrate the point taken: New
ton Tabor was digging a well. To blast
out the rock he used dynamite inclosed in
small metallic capsules. In the course of
his operations he deposited an op n box
of these dangerous capsules at the root of
a tree near where he was working. A
ladder leaning against the tree reached
up to q hooking birds nest containing a
young brood. HIS 10Y ear-old son Dick,
with a couple of the capsules in his hand,
assembled the ladder, and discovering the
young birds with distended mouths, boy
like, dropped the capsules, n at a time,
in n birds mouth. They forthwith
disappeared in the birds cravt@ This
rendered the bird uncomfortable, and in
a struggle for relief it fell from the nest.
Upon striking the ground an explosion &C.
CURED which tore up the earth, dumped
a quantity of the loose dirt, and the frag-
ments of rock piled around into the well
and came near killing Mr.. Tabor. who was
working down below. The boy fell from
the ladder and was badly hurt, suffering
the fracture of some bones. This shows
what a boy will do when he gets a chance.

The Wall Does Stand.

In an age when skepticism is under
mining all the cherished beliefs of our
childhood. and when the seven wonders
of the world are becoming for most of us
as dubious as the seven champions of
C~hristendom, it is pleasant to learn that
the great wall of China at least stands
solidly where it did. The Able Larrien,
having published a pamphlet to prove it a
fiction, has been met by the counter as
sertions of Mr.. w. G.. Howell in The

EVEN the lttle Tribune hobbies into
the ring with a qucrluous little cough.
and has an incoherent word or two to say
on land Office matters. Its arguments
are of the good, old fashioned style that
used to be popular in the early days Of
civilization, but have gone out of use in
respectable circles of late years. These
arguments consist chiefly in the free and
indiscrlminate use OF the word ''liar'-a
word much affected by a certain class of
our cit zens who find themselves quite
frequently engaged in the repair of the
municipal thoroughfares under the watch
full eye Of an officer of the law. 1t is a
we'll known principle in hydrostatics that
water will not rise above its source; the
same principle applied to morals may ac-
count for the fact that the Tribune can
not be decent.

In THIS discussion over the rates
charged for land notices, one tact strikes
us rather queerly. 1t is this: Both the
Sun and the Big Horn Sentinel charge
Sl2 for a legal advertise ncnt of the same
size as a land notice and published exactly
the same number of times, and yet by
some lcgerdcmuin Of logic they figure out
that the price charged for land notices,
$40, is exorbitant. An unfortunate gem
tlemau buried in the bowels of a straight
Jacket might demonstrate this problem to
his W satisfaction. but people enjoying
the full possession of their faculties will
frankly acknowledge some difficulty in
reconciling the two propositions. Will
the logic buffers of the opposition throw
a little light on the subject?

In one of his novels Tolstoi dismisses
for the time being the love felt by a
young man for a young girl, or vice
versa-attachments which he says always
fill him with dismay-and proceeds to
divide love-by which he means love felt
by a human creature for other human
creatures-into three kinds-elegant love,
devoted love, and active love. The first
he defines as consisting in being enamored
Of the beauty of the sentiment which one
experiences, and of a compliment satisfao-
ton in the expression of it.
''In my country" he goes on, ''people
Of a certain class, who love in this ele-
giant fashion, are not content to speak of
it TO everybody; they always speak of it
in French. 1t is an absurd and grotesque
thing to say; but l am convinced that
there have been, and are-in a certain
circle-many persons, especially women,
in whom the love they feel for friends,
husband, and children would cease the
moment it was forbidden to be expressed
in French" Devoted love consists, on
the other hand, in loving the operation
of the sacrifice n makes in behalf of
the beloved object, without troubling
ones self in the least to ascertain whether
the beloved object will find him or herself
the better or worse for it. This sort of
love is analysed and illustrated with as
tonishing penetration; the truth with
which the author points out the jealousy
and the harassing nature of this love
being at times almost painful. Thirdly,
and finally, active love consists in a
vehement desire to satisfy all the needs,
wants, caprices, reasonable and ~unreason-
able, of the beloved one.
Even the faults of the beloved are dear
to those possessed by this love, inasmuch
as they furnish further needs to be salts
fled. Such persons, " he adds, rarely
express their love in words, and if they
do Sc it is ~awkwardly and shyly ex-
pressed, for they are always afraid of not
loving enough. London Society.

IT Is quite too r~idrculously funny for
any use TO have u Laramie paper soberly
assert that Cheyenne is working an under
handed scheme TO remove the peniten
tiary from that city to this. We hope no
Laramie gentlemen will feel the necessity
Of throwing aside their superhuous cloth
ing in any wild scramble which may enSue
over the possession OF tho penitentiary.
Let US whisper TO them frankly now that
Cheyenne doesn't want the institution.
We've already got one penitcntiary in the
shape Of the county jail, and would to
goodness there was less use for it. Chey-
enne is inclined to be luxurious in its ten
denotes, but the taste Of its citizens does
not run in the direction of accommodating

You were pleased to publish, a few
days ago. a communication from me on
the subject Of the genesis of the song of
''John Brown" That of the air to which
it is sung is also very interesting, and
belongs to a complete history Of the
''AlarseillaSe' of the emancipation.
Though adapted to a Methodist hymn, it
appears in the beginning to nave been
some kind of a voudoo song and may be
possibly of purely negro origin. Lieut..
Chandler, in an article on Sherman's
march to the sea, says that during a halt
at Shady Dale, in Georgia, the FederaD
band struck up John Browns body lies
moldering in the grave" Great was
the amazenent of the soldiers to see a
number of negro girls come out one by
one from the deserted houses, and, form
ing a circle round the band, dance in a
grave and dignifed manner without
smiling, as if in some kind of a magical
or religious ceremony. The dance over
they disappeared. The band played
other airs, but the girls did not reappear;
and their modest and earnest department
on this occasion made an impression on
the spectator. Inquiry of an old negro
woman elected the fact that the air was
known as ''tho wedding tune" that it
had no connection with hymns or songs,
and that the Colored girls all believed
that they must dance whenever they
heard it played or that they would never
be married. The words and name of
'John Browns Body" were as yet I'M
known to every one then, in that obscure
corner of the south. al was convinced"
says the writer, ''that the tune was older
where the words were unknown han
where they were familiar"
can only add that there are yet in ex-
istence in the United States several voudoo
airs and dances. and that one of the most
accomplished ladies whom | ever met had
learned something Of them. 1t is very
probable, as l have already suggested,
that in its origin John Brown" belongs
to this mysterious music. Charles G.
